Welcome Spryng, so glad you finally got help to decide what was going on with your system. I joined MRC back in june 2012 and lost 39 lbs really quick, but after I went on maintenance after 4 months all the cravings came back and I was out of control, I gained about 8 lbs when I saw a post on IE and the overfed head and started the IE way and i'm losing lbs and feel so free! It's amazing how you can just listen to your body and eat what you want when you're hungry and stop when you're full! I don't think of food 24/7 anymore. I still weigh in once a week since I only started IE two wks ago but I've lost 4lbs this week. I'm hoping everyone keeps posting their progress. Also i'm currently reading Thin inside out How to Have your CAKE & your SKINNY jeans too and it's amazing. Congratulations and goodluck, keep posting!!
